VOLUME 10 NUMBER 31
VICTORY IN ELEVENTH
Hesselbacher’s Pitching, With Gilt
Edge Support, Combined With
Ursinus’ Errors Enable Team to
Win Out in Tight Battle.
In the best game of the year, the
final punch which has been ex
hibited by our ball tossers all sea-
son, again asserted itself.
game was a pitchers battle between
Johnson and Hesselbacher two of
the best college twirl ers in the east,
with honors about even. Despite
the fact that the team had iust re-
turned from a strenous western trip
on which Hesselbacher pitched two
consecutive games, they gave the
rooters the best exhibition of the
The game opened with Hessel
bacher striking out Kennedy,
the first man up. Diemer lifted
one out to Miller. Mitterling
singled and Bedenk, with
a terrific drive over Miller’s head,
went for three bases scoring Mit
terling. Johnson, their hard hitting
pitcher, drove a clean one between
short and second scoring Bedenk,
and Reiff struck out ending their
half of the inning with a two run
lead. Miller fanned and Craw
ford’s drive along the third base
foul line went for two bases.
Weber singled, stole second and
Crawford scored on Craig’s sacri
fice. Josefson flied out.
Hesselbacher tightened in the
second retiring the side. Robinson
started our half with a drive to
Stugart who fumbled and then ad
vanced to second on Bedenk’s
error. Blythe sacrificed, Robinson
taking third. The squeeze was
then worked, Robinson scoring from
third and Hesselbacher struck out.
Score 2-2.
In the fifth Hesselbacher issued
three passes filling the bases with
one out, then tightened and struck
out Bedenk while Johnson lifted
one to Josefson, thereby spoiling
Ursinus’ chance to score.
We evened matters up in the
sixth when Crawford took first on
Bedenk's weak throw and advanced
on Weber’s sacrifice. Craig’s two
base lunge scored after Josefson
struck out and Robinson tapped to
Adams.
The eleventh proved to be full
of thrills, and errors on the patt of
both teams brought in their re
spective tallys, Reiff opened the
half for Ursinus with an infield fly
to Craig. Stugart took first on
Weber’s poor throw to Robinson
and Bettler’s two base hit scored
Stugart. Bettler made the third
out at third when Miller caught
Adams’ fly, relaying it through
Craig to Blythe. In the last half,
Johnson walked Vogt who advanc
ed to third on Adams’ error which
placed Hesselbacher on second. A
wild pitch from Johnson scored
Vogt, Hesselbacher brought in the
winning run on Bettler’s error which
placed Miller on third with no outs.
Final score 5-4.

W&JBADLY DEFEATED
Hesselbacher Continues Great
Pitching—Bachman Injured.
Third Pitcher Missed.
Hard hitting and Hesselbacher’s
good pitching resulted in a 11-1
victory over W. and J. in the first
game of the western trip. All of
the offerings of the W. and J. pitch
ers were easy for State. Twenty
one hits and 11 runs were garnered
from W. and J.’s three pitchers.
The following day Hesselbacher
again pitched against Pitt. He was
effective until the eighth inning
when hard hitting produced four
runs, enough for the 6-3 victory.
Eliffe played at third and Bachman
at second. Craig’s presence was
badly missed at second base.
On Thursday Lieberl pitched
against Carnegie Tech. Inability
to hit at the opportune times was
directly responsible for the 5-2
defeat.
Bachman, who played at second,
broke his leg sliding and is now in
a Pittsburg hospital. The young
man is working his way through
college and depends to a large ex
tent on his summer earnings. It is
to be hoped that some special ac
tion will be taken in his case in
order that his injury will not inter
fere with his scholastic standing.
Inter-Class Baseball.
The Freshmen took the lead in
the baseball league on Saturday
when they defeated 1916 in a ragged
fielding and hard-hitting game by
the score of 14-10. Baughman
pitched well except in the second
inning when eight runs were made
off his delivery.
The best league game thus far
was the 1914-1916 contest last
Thursday. A pitcher’s battle be
tween J. Craig and Binder resulted
in a Sophomore victory. The after
noon before the Freshmen won
from the Juniors 12-8.

INTERCOLLEGIATE
CHAMPIONS
Numerous Records Broken in Track
and Field Events—Lamb Stars.
In the annual western intercolleg
iate track championships on Satur
day in Pittsburg, State scored 96
1- points winning by 32 points
over their strongest .competitor,
Pitt.
Keyser broke the two mile field
record, and Leyden the quarter
mile, covering the distance in 50
4-5 seconds which also breaks the
'State record. Our relay team low
ered the field record by three sec
onds and finished more than 100
yards ahead of their Pittsburg
rivals. Hammitt showed by his
performances that he ,is in first
class condition for cti3 Harvard
meet. He was disqualified in the
high hurdles for knocking over
three sticks; two watches caught
him in 15 1-5 seconds. In the low
hurdles he finished in 25 seconds.
Lamb was high scorer with a first
in the hammer, second in the shot,
third in the discus, and tied for
fifth in the high jump.
The greatest surprise of the meet
was when a Tech man defeated
White in the 100 yard dash in 10
2- seconds. Palmer surprised
everyone in the broad jump with a
leap of 22 feet 5.3 inches. State
took seven out of a possible fifteen
firsts, eight seconds, five thirds and
four fourths. The team scores were
as follows: Slate 96 1-6; Pittsburg
64 1-6; Tech 30 1-2; Allegheny
18 1-2; W. and J. 12 1-2; Westmin
ster 6.
State Loses to Pitt in Tennis
The varsity tennis team lost to
Pitt on May 21 by the score of 5-1,
but the meet was much closer than
the score would indicate. Nevin
lost a hard match to McElroy, of
Pitt, and Hay and Nevin in the
doubles scored State’s only point.
Carnegie Tech was easily defeated,
6-0. The meet with the Westing
house A. C„ at Wilkinsburg, on
May 23 was closer, and several
good matches resulted, the Nevin-
Lloyd match being the most inter
esting. The final score was: State
4, Westinghouse A. C. 2.
Baseball Batting Averages

early batting slump and is now hit

Hesselbacher Draws Attention,
When Wardwell left college, an
impossible task seemed'to confront
the coaching stall in respect to
pitchers. The one hope was in
Hesselbacher. Beginning with the
Trinity game he has more than ful
filled the hopes of his greatest
admirers. In 11 games he has won
eight, lost two and tied one. In
nearly every battle at least 10 men
men have struck out while few
teams have had more than six hits.
His work has commanded the at
tention of big league owners and
many offers have come his way.
It is hoped that he will be able to
turn down these bids until he has
made two more yearly records at
State.
State at Harvard.
Five men will go to Harvard next
Thursday with Coach Martin to
compete in the annual intercol
legiate track championships. Ham
mitt appears to have the best
chance to score,and if Palmer jumps
up to form he will score at least a
third place. Keyset should score
in the two mile event while Leyden
should do something in the half
mile. Lamb’s best opportunity
will come in the hammer throw.
Interfraternity Meet Will Contested
The Sigma Pi fraternity with two
men scored five first places which
.was enough to win the annual track
meet held on New Beaver Field.
Theta Xi were second with nineteen
points and Alpha Zeta third with
eighteen points. Thomas, of Sigma
Pi, was high individual scorer with
first place in the jumps and low
hurdles.
1917 Elections.
The freshmen at a class meeting
held last Tuesday evening, elected
the following men as officers for
the coming year: president Sauer
hoff; vice-president. Burns; secre
tary, Dunkle; treasurer, Hoffer.
Humble will represent the class in
the Student Council.
PRICE FIVE CENTS
LIBERAL ARTS BUILDING
New Building to Conform in Gener-
al Appearance to Library—To be
Fireproof Throughout.
The work on the southern wing
of the new liberal aits building is
rapidly progressing and the mason
ry has almost reached the first
floor. The building when complet
ed will contain 21 recitation rooms,
five offices and a lecture room. It
consists of three floors, a ground
floor built of limestone and two
upper stories constructed of light
brick similar to that of the present
library. The trimmings consist of
stone, with a terracotta cresting,
capped with a copper cornice sur
rounding the slag roof. Just below
the cornice in the terracotta crest
ing, panels are to be placed con
taining the names of the world’s
greatest men such as Chaucer!
Dickens, Burns, Homer, Socrates,
Moses, Shakespeare, St. Paul,
Dante, etc. Ample space has been
allowed for windows and the build
ing will be well lighted, several
windows being placed in each class
room. The floors and partitions
are fireproof and the building is
modern in every detail.
The main entrance will face the
road in front of the library which
will later be blocked off as the rest
of the building becomes completed.
In entering the building one will
ascend three banks of bluestone
steps which lead to the first floor
from a concrete portico raised
slightly from the present elevation
of lUc ground. This will form a
majestic effect and is one of the
new ideas constituting the general
plan of construction of the unit.
The ground floor and tirst floor
contains 10 rooms each with eight
recitation 100 ms on the former and
seven on the latter. The second
floor contains six recitation rooms
and a lecture room 47 by 50 feet.
For the present the Mathematics,
English, German and French de
partments will occupy these rooms
and will relieve the existing crowd
ed conditions in Old Main.
It has become the policy of the
board ot trustees in erecting new
buildings to erect them well and in
stead of putting up - structures that
will have to be replaced in a few
years they intend to build some
thing that will both last and look
well. With this end in view they
selected the Day and Klauder firm
of Philadelphia as architects while
theH. L. Brown company of the
same city was awarded the building
contract. The structure will be fin
ished next fall.
The May Queen Pageant
The long expected May Queen
pageant was presented by the girls
of the college on Saturday evening
and promises, if continued in the
future, to be a very beautiful cus
tom. This first effort on the part
of the girls was well received, and
since the proceeds went for a good
cause all the participants are to be
commended for their untiring ef
forts to make the affair a success.
The scene of the pageant was ex
ceedingly well adapted for its pro
duction and the trees, shrubbery
and costumes of the nymphs help
ed to transport the audience back
to “Ye Olden Days”. The dancing
was good, the solo was exceptional,
and the different parts showed
careful training. The whole pa
geant reflected credit on the girls
and their director.
